Accordingly:—“[...] remembering Śiva, his lord and hitting them, who were as lustrous as Nārāyaṇa with his trident, he reduced them to ashes. The most powerful Vīrabhadra struck Viṣṇu in the chest playfully with his trident in the course of the battle. O sage, hit suddenly by that blow, Viṣṇu Puruṣottama, fell unconscious [viz., visaṃjña] on the ground”.
